CALL FOR PAPER

The Fourth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (WWASN2007)

in conjunction with the International Conference
on Distributed Computing Systems (IEEE ICDCS 2007)

Monday, June 25, 2007 in Toronto, ON, Canada

http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~softart/WWASN2007.html
<http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/%7Esoftart/WWASN2007.html>

CONFERENCE THEME
This workshop covers the area of ad hoc and sensor networking,
from physical issues to applications aspects. In particular,
it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers,
as well as applications, security, simulation and power management
issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks.
Among the goals of the workshop is to review ad hoc and sensor
network protocols and models, and to reflect the latest advances
in the state of the art in modeling, design, and deployment of
such networks.

Typical topics include (but not limited to):

Key communication abstractions for ad hoc and sensor networks
Topology construction and maintenance
Physical, media access, and routing layers
Routing, broadcasting and multicasting
Energy-efficient protocols
Quality of service in medium access control and routing
Fault tolerance and redundancy schemes
IEEE 802.11 and 802.15.x-based medium access control
Hybrid networks and wireless internet
Models for analysis, performance assessment, mobility, and validation
models
Methods and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks simulation
Heterogeneous networks and challenges in analyzing and designing them
Pervasive and wearable computing
Security, trust, and other security-related issues
Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery
Applications and history of ad hoc and sensor networks

IMPORTANT DATES
Manuscript Submission: January 1, 2007 (extended)
Acceptance Notification: February 15, 2006
Final Manuscript Due at IEEE: around March 15, 2006

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Papers should be submitted via email to program chairs
(vmisic@cs.umanitoba.ca <mailto:vmisic@cs.umanitoba.ca> and
ywang32@uncc.edu <mailto:ywang32@uncc.edu>). Papers should
be submitted in PDF format, using either the IEEE Computer Society
proceedings format (two column, 10 point, single-spaced) or a
single-column, 12 point, at least 1.5 line spacing format. There are
no page lenth restrictions on the length of submitted papers, but note
that the paper length for accepted papers will be limited; the exact
details to be determined later. (For your guidance, last year's limit
was 6 pages in the IEEE CS proceedings format.) Number each page in
the manuscript. Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the technical
area(s) most relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author's
e-mail address. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press as part of the proceedings of ICDCS'2007 workshops,
provided that each paper has at least one accompanying registration.
